SOUTH BEACH BLOWOUT
LEBRON AND WADE COMBINE FOR 61 IN WIN
LeBron went off today, scoring 37 of his teams 113 points. Both of which are season highs.
Miami, FL -- Coming off four straight wins, the Miami Heat are white hot to start the season as they win their 5th straight game. The Heat came out strong out of the gates, out scoring the Trail Blazers by 14. The second quarter was much more competitive as Portland started to get their shots to fall, but were still out scored 26-28. LeBron and the Heat came out of halftime with the same determination, dropping a game high 34 points in the 3rd, their largest scoring quarter of the season. By the time it hit the 4th, this game was very uninteresting as the Heat had a large lead so the backups came in for both teams.
LeBron James finished the game with a season best 37 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, and scored his 20,000th point in the second quarter. Dwyane Wade added 24 points, 6 rebounds, ad 4 assists. The next highest scorer was Mike Miller off the bench, scoring 9 points, and hitting two 3-pointers. Rookie Cody Zeller scored a career high 8 points, and grabbed two boards. For Portland, only seven different players scored. Jamal Crawford led the way with 22.
